Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey which
goes to the very root of cold
troubles. It clears the throat and
giv^s relief from that clogged and
stuffed feeling. , The pines have
ev-er been the friend of man in driv
ing away colds. Moreover, the
pine-honey qualities are peculiarly
effective in fighting children's colds
